Slavoj Zizek, "Is it Possible to be a Hegelian Today?" Tuesday, September 22, 2009 talk at the University at Buffalo. Organized by the Center for the Study of Psychoanalysis and Culture. Joan Copjec introduces Zizek.
@didiynwa Rachmanainov is Kitch because there was a atonal revolution spawned by Schauneburg and composing like tchaikovsky and rachmoninov was no longer relevant. It would be like a rock station today playing disco music, it just is pointless.
@ForwarDotSlash ...they don't fail MY blind tasting (friends have tested me),once you know the flavour to look out for, you can spot it a mile off. It's a case of having that taste/flavour in your mental reference bank. Sounds like YOU'VE bought into the status quo...cue "Rockin All Over The World" soundtrack...

Then why do organic foods fail blind tastes? Sounds like you've bought into the branding.

organic fruit doesn't taste of the potassium sulphate non-organic farmers use to boost the size of fruits..
